Stadium Municipal de Toulouse is the official name of Toulouse Football Club\u2019s home ground. It has been their home since the club was founded in 1970. It is only the twelfth largest stadium in France but the largest multi-purpose stadium in the city of Toulouse. Though it is the home of Toulouse FC, it is also used for major rugby games, especially test matches of the French national rugby union side.<\/p>\n

Toulouse Football Club are often known as the more simplistic Toulouse or even just TFC. Though they are currently playing in the top-tier of French football they have never won it. They have won Ligue 2, the second division, three times, the most recent of which was in 2003. They have also won the Coupe de France once, in 1957. The club\u2019s home kit is violet, which is believed to be a reference to the nickname of the city, la Cit\u00e9 des violettes, or the City of Violets.<\/p>\n

Stadium Municipal de Toulouse Seating Plan and Where to Sit<\/h2>\r\n \r\n
<\/div>\r\n \r\n
From Toulouse FC<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

Despite being built during a time when building stadiums in the \u2018English style\u2019 of four separate stands was all the rage, the Stadium Municipal is actually built in a bowl style of continuous seating. The two end stands are single stands, whilst the side stands are two-tiered.<\/p>\n

Even though the stadium offers a bowl of continuous seats it is still split into four different sections. Though there are more specific names of certain areas the section are, for ease, named after the geographical area that the stands are located in. There is the Tribune Nord, the Tribune Sud, the Virage Est and the Virage Ouest. Just in case you\u2019re not too sure about your French they are, in order, the North, South, East and West stands.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
